Q&A: ANY SUGGESTIONS FOR HOMEOPATHIC TREATMENT OF DEPRESSION AND ANXIETY?

Question by lu pearl:
Any recommendations for homeopathic treatment of depression and anxiety?
I do not want to go on anti-depressants until I exhaust all other methods. Does anyone have recommendations for homeopathic treatment of depression? I know exercise and proper diet are large factors but I do not know what kind of diet to be on. Also, I am in counseling/therapy right now to work on cognitive-behavioral technique, journaling, and starting to meditate. Now I just want to know if there are any supplements that work as hard as the Western medications.

I went on antidepressants for a while I took up the hobby of hand quilting.It relieves my anxiety and gives me something to look forward too. Sorry do not know if this qualifies as homeopathic but it worked for me.

I tried St. John’s wort for a time but do not advocate it–I ended up with excessive menstrual bleeding while using it. Not sure why but I suspected that it raised blood pressure.

I have read that sitting in the sun for several minutes each day has a large impact on your mood and also taking vitamin B supplements. I also advocate going for a short walk outside everyday. Even when the weather is not cooperating, if you can manage to get outside and exercise in the fresh air it will do wonders for your mood.

Good luck!
